I am not sure leather will really last 3-5 years. My neighbor has a 99 9-3 with leather, and the drivers seat alreadly looks as crumpled as an withering prune and as flat as a day old pancake. I also tend to believe that the foam used in the cloth seat is somewhat firmer than that which Saab uses in the leather...all the more reason for cloth. Resale wise, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by a driver's reaction to crisp looking cloth as opposed to second-grade leather surfacing, no longer the "hides" manufacturers used in the 1980's. If I wanted the leather used on a $700 sofa, I'd go to Cost Plus and buy myself a sofa. However, in a rather expensive car, it's a shame that the leather is of the lowest-common-demonator variety and it's a bigger shame that Saab does not seem to offer cloth seats on the 9-5, even as special order.
